On:20 June 2013

I’m happy to post the following on behalf of Moneycorp Regional Manager Stephen Tiley because I know money transfer is a major issue for those visiting, living in, or buying property in Tenerife. I hope it helps, and have added the detail to my links page as well.

Hi Janet

As regard to other competitors, I have used ClearFX for a couple of years and found them to be very good in terms of cost and customer service and all quotes/transactions are carried out on-line, no phone calls needed at any stage – which is great !! Transfers can be a bit slow though at times (5 working days).

Have recently been trialing TransferWise for a couple of months or so now. They also conduct all transactions on-line without the need for any phone calls and the time it takes for money to arrive in my bank is faster than anyone else that I have used previously. Rates are excellent.

I used to use moneycorp some time back – but not now.

P.S. I declare no interests in any of the companies that I have mentioned.

For Elaine. Have a look at the website http://www.moneysavingexpert.com for their recommendations for money transfers. I have used Currencies Direct recently and I noticed you can set up regular transfer from you bank account. I guess the other companies do it too. I used my debit card with currencies direct and the transfer was done in a couple of days.
